Automotive

The
on-line events calendar will hopefully have successfully been updated by the
time you receive this, but some of the most imminent events are listed below;

Did
anyone notice it's passing in January?That
was the date by which all products on sale in Europe had to comply with the
updated directive 2004/104/EC. In fairness there has been over 4 years for the
market to convert the product.If
you haven't done so already check the standards and our test providers to see
what can be done!

ISO/IEC
17025: General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration
Laboratories

Interference
Technology have published a comparison of the First and Second Editions of this
well respected and often essential standard for test lab.Use of the new international laboratory standard should assure greater
consistency between laboratories, testing and calibration.

Freescale
Semiconductor and Dongfeng Motor Corporation plan to establish a joint
automotive electronics design lab in China. The move aims at developing the
electronic systems for next-generation vehicles for China's domestic market as
well as for export markets. In this context, Freescale will lead the car
manufacturer closer to the AUTOSAR software standard universe.

As
this is the first issue of 2009 Happy New Year, I hope the dreaded "Credit
Crunch" is having a minimal impact on you and our best wishes to those whom
it is severely effecting.

We
must apologise for the delays that our internet pages have recently suffered
with being updated.Since the date

by the time you receive this that error will have been corrected and 2009 dates
are posted on most title pages.
